Fixing up a 1973 914. When you turn the lights on everything on the driver side works, but on the pasenger side only the headlight on high beam works and the brake light when applied. None of the signal lights, parking lights, reverse lights work. Where do I start? Greatly appreciate any guidance

Start at the fuse panel. look for corrosion. Spin the fuse in the holder to make better contact.

Thank you. I have replaced all fuses with new, but have not checked contacts for corrosion. I will rotate and see what happens. will be in touch

You for got to say if it's the front or rear lights that don't work. I either case check your ground connection ( brown wires) there is two for the front (left and right side). If it's the rear the brown wire multiple may be open.

Or a single ground point that has multiple wires going to it might be bad...
